Palawan versus Cebu for a vacation

Lots of glossy press at the moment on resorts in both these areas, it's got me thinking for spring 26,.
Which is better,safer more fun?
Would it be an arduous journey to do both?

Palawan - Coron and El Nido get my vote although has been a long time since I was there.

Done it, perhaps you didn't understand the questions!

Guimaras Island and also Bohol.

Palawan and Cebu are both crowded now.

Guimaras and Bohol also have nice beaches but with less people.

Started looking at Bohol, first stab Pangalo looks enticing, its a time off yet probably March 2026, and will look at Guimarus also.

Bohol is classed as safe by UK Gov which is good for travel insurance

Markham or Boots?

I had my honeymoon in Panglao.
We stayed at Golden Palm Beach Resort - a private resort just walking distance to Panglao Beach.

But there are also several other resorts and hotels/motels in the island depending on your preference.

Food there was quite cheap, about half the price of that in Manila.
I was dining out every day and only spent like less than £20 for me and my wife.

And we were eating something akin to dining out here in the UK but for the price of one.

It's easy to get around as well as you can just hail for a tuktuk/tricycle which can take you around anywhere in the island for set prices.
You can go to Chocolate Hills, Firefly Cave, ride a quad bike, etc.

I enjoyed it more than Boracay or Palawan to be honest.

Spoiler

Island is large enough that you probably won't see them if you don't want to. lol

It's not Vegas but...


the monkey on the right looks like a Man Utd supporter

If you see a white person, just hide or pretend you do not speak English. lol

In your attempt to take the proverbially p***, you've got it wrong.
The Tarsier primate pictured and referred to is not a monkey, it is like a monkey a primate however. While both are primates, tarsiers belong to the suborder Haplorrhini, infraorder Tarsiiformes, whereas monkeys are part of the suborder Haplorrhini, infraorder Simiiformes. Tarsiers are more closely related to monkeys, apes, and humans than they are to lemurs and lorises.

Finally.

I knew there had to be one subject you were an expert on

Clearly you master none (subjects)!

Palawan wins! Coron looks great but difficult to get to, El Nido looks great also need to research more, seven commandos beach looks great
